That’s cool for us by comparison but I’d like to see it lower. Unfortunately, North Texas has had Halloweens in the 90’s for Highs. We’ll see what we get this year.

Tom Posted September 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Is it just me or is there just soo much going on in the wx dept its hard to keep up. Boy, the more I sit here and analyze the pattern and see what is about to happen to close out SEP is pretty freakin' awesome. This trough means business for the GL's..."Lakes on Fire"... can you imagine what this would do in the Winter??? It's been an interesting past couple of days monitoring the models trends where Hurricane Ian may track. That massive Blocking HP is really wrecking havoc in the modeling. I'm really excited to see where this blocking pattern will lead us as we enter into OCT and the following months. 0z Euro...what warmth???

Signs of a new pattern setting up in the Day 10-15...sweet pattern is in the cards as storms will ride underneath the Blocks. Not to get to far ahead of myself, but when I see nearly every single model agree that the EPO turns (-) as we open OCT, you gotta believe the warm SST's in the NE PAC are being a factor. Notice the little ripples in the graph below...I think that's an indication of the models signaling a storm train developing over the N PAC into Alaska and ride into the B.C. region. It's a non stop parade of systems as the La Nina pattern fires up big time. I believe eventually we will see these storms target farther south into Cali and bless the region with Mtn Snows and plenty of moisture. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 LOT's discussion for the risk of Lake Effect rain showers is neat to read for tomorrow/Wed... Quote Most of the "interesting" weather is confined to Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. 850 mb temps plunging to near or just over 0 Celsius over the lake will continue to yield very favorable lake induced thermodynamics, with equilibrium levels pushing 20-25 kft and lake induced CAPE approaching 1,000 J/kg. The incoming surface high is expected to cause the lake enhanced low-level convergence axis to shift farther southwest. Big picture wise, this setup favored bumping up PoPs to high chance closer to the lake in northwest Indiana. However, as is common at this vantage point from a lake effect set-up, there is pretty large variability in the guidance in exactly where the convergence banding sets up and the residence time. Should the band(s) become quasi-stationary for a time, then certainly plausible to have moderate to even heavy downpours given the favorable thermodynamics. Also have slight chance thunder mention to pair with the lake induced instability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 The 0z EPS 500mb pattern is a thing of beauty as we open OCT....there are members on here that know what I'm talking about... Meanwhile, it was a bit toasty here yesterday as PHX topped out at 104F (Normal 97F) but the DP's in the 40's made it feel more comfortable by the pool. We could top that today hitting 105F...then we begin the slow step down into the 90's later in the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 LOT has strong wording in their write up for the Lake Effect rain potential...one can only imagine what this would produce during the Winter months...Look for those Waterspouts on the lake! Quote Upper level pattern continues to be dominated by a deep, broad trough over eastern NOAM. A strong jet streak and associated mid- level short wave were evident within northwest flow aloft early this morning across the upper Midwest, and this disturbance will continue to dig south-southeast across the western Great Lakes region through tonight. A cold front accompanying this wave will bring a reinforcing push of cooler air by this evening, maintaining below- average temperatures and breezy north-northeast winds across the area through Wednesday. Some patchy cloud cover can be expected today, and though perhaps an isolated sprinkle or two can`t be completely ruled out, thermodynamic profiles across most of the forecast area depict moist layers generally too shallow for any organized shower threat. This will change this evening behind the aforementioned cold front, as low level wind fields turn northerly and allow the convergent wind axis currently over eastern Lake Michigan to shift west. This will shift the better lake-effect shower and thunderstorm potential from southwestern MI/northeast IN into northwest IN tonight, and eventually into the IL/IN border region (including the south/southeast Chicago metro area) by Wednesday morning. Colder air aloft (0C at 850 mb per current guidance) and air temps over the lake in the upper 50s/around 60 should support 400-600 J/kg of lake-induced CAPE tonight into early Wednesday, which should result in convective showers and a few thunderstorms as well as as chance of waterspouts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 "Trends are your Friends"....so they say...well, it appears that the GEFS are following the EPS trends as we approach the start of the new LRC pattern in OCT...no longer is the trough hugging NW NAMER and the Ridge is firing up (-EPO) signal shining bright. The LR clues from over a week ago are coming together. Now, let's see if there is a storm system that can develop around the 10/6 period....looking out farther, using the BSR as guidance, I am expecting more of the same as we see troughs entering the west coast/PAC NW into the middle part of OCT. The storm below tracking in a SW/NE fashion could be an interesting "cutter" during the 10/17-10/21 period and this may develop into a Major trough over the central SUB. I got my eye on an active period during the middle part of OCT. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
